Associations between sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and theta wave activity during resting-state electroencephalography in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, absolute theta power during resting stage, and its associations in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2023 to May 2024 on 119 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and 114 healthy controls at the Department of Nephrology and Dialysis, Military Hospital 103, Vietnam Military Medical University, Hanoi, Vietnam. Sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), respectively. Resting-state absolute theta power was analyzed with eyes closed using electroencephalography.
resultsPatients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis showed significantly higher adjusted means for sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, and overall PSQI and ESS scores compared with controls (p < 0.01). Poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5) was observed in 41.2% of patients, while 11.5% exhibited excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS ≥ 10). Notably, 9.2% of patients demonstrated both conditions. Absolute theta power was signficantly increased in the left prefrontal, frontal, right prefrontal, and parietal regions of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis compared with controls (p < 0.01). Elevated theta power in the left prefrontal and frontal regions was significantly and possitively associated with increasing poor sleep quality (p < 0.05).
conclusionPoor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness are prevalent in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Altered theta wave activity, particularly increased absolute power in the left prefrontal and frontal regions, may indicate a link between brain activity and sleep disturbances in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
